Elk Accessories

I am obsessed with Elk accessories at the moment. Their products are lovely, well-priced, beautifully packaged and quickly shipped. Their "about us" page says, "wear only what you love," and that phrase is ringing around my head every time I open a drawer, flick through shirts in my wardrobe, or awkwardly adjust some piece of clothing that has ridden up, shimmied down, twisted up or is just uncomfortable.

I go through phases. I've had the Birkinstock phase, the Camper phase, and the eyeshadow phase (I currently have over 100 shades of brown, and am still looking for the perfect shade), which involved a significant mineral eyeshadow sub-phase. My mascara phase is low-frequency, but long-lived. My Morrison phase is sort of winding down. My abi and joseph phase has dramatic peaks and long lulls.

Elk will release their spring/summer collection on 1st September. I'm beside myself. It's worse that waiting for the rugby world cup to start, because I can't even occupy myself counting beers, or visiting websites anticipating the results.

I'm annoyed that I have 3 weeks to wait, but there's stuff from their autum/winter collection that I want now. If it had been, say, 6 weeks, I could justify ordering now and then doing another in September. But 3 weeks is just too short. And yet too long. Argh.

In the meantime, I just want to ditch almost everything in my wardrobe and start again. Maybe that will keep me occupied. It will certainly keep me cold.
